Colt Anaconda .45 Long Colt 6″ Stainless Revolver

The Colt Anaconda .45 Long Colt 6″ Stainless Revolver is a return to a legend—a large-frame, stainless-steel wheelgun built for shooters who demand precision and power. Chambered in .45 Long Colt with a six-round cylinder and a 6-inch barrel, this revolver gives you an extended sight radius and adjustable rear sight for tight groups at the range or in the field. The semi-polish stainless finish shrugs off corrosion, while Hogue overmolded rubber grips lock your hand in place for fast follow-ups. This is the Anaconda collectors have been waiting for.

Key Features

• 6-Inch Barrel with Extended Sight Radius – The longer barrel gives you a sight plane that stretches over 8 inches, making it easier to hold a precise sight picture for steel plates or paper targets at 25 yards.
• Adjustable Rear Sight – Windage and elevation adjustments let you dial in your load, whether you’re shooting 250-grain hardcast or lighter cowboy loads. No more guessing where the group lands.
• Semi-Polish Stainless Finish – This finish resists rust and scratches better than blued steel, so you can carry it in a holster through a rainy hunt or humid gun show without worrying about pitting.
• Hogue Overmolded Rubber Grips – The rubber texture soaks up recoil from hot .45 Colt loads and keeps your grip consistent, shot after shot. No slipping, no shifting.
• Six-Round Cylinder – Full six-shot capacity gives you one more round than many .44 Magnum competitors, which matters when you’re on a timer or facing multiple targets.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the collector who remembers the original Anaconda and wants the modern stainless version. It’s also for the handgun hunter who needs a .45 Colt that can handle heavy loads and deliver accuracy at 50 yards. If you appreciate the heft of a full-size stainless frame and the smooth Colt action, this is your wheelgun.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Classic Colt name, stainless durability, adjustable sights, Hogue grip for comfort, .45 Colt versatility (light to heavy loads).
• Cons: Weight (47 ounces) may feel heavy for all-day carry; the semi-polish finish shows fingerprints and smudges more than a matte finish.

FAQ

Is the Colt Anaconda .45 Long Colt 6″ stainless revolver good for hunting?

Yes. The .45 Long Colt with a 6-inch barrel gives you enough velocity for deer-sized game at moderate ranges, and the adjustable rear sight lets you zero for your hunting load. The stainless finish holds up in wet weather.

Does this revolver shoot .45 Colt +P ammunition?

Colt specs indicate the Anaconda is built for standard .45 Long Colt pressures. While it’s a strong stainless frame, Colt does not recommend +P loads for this model. Stick to SAAMI-spec .45 Colt for reliability and safety.

What grips come on the Colt Anaconda?

It comes with Hogue overmolded rubber grips from the factory. They fill the hand well and reduce felt recoil, but you can swap them for aftermarket grips if you prefer wood or a different profile.

How does the trigger pull feel on the Anaconda?

The single-action trigger breaks clean at around 4.5 pounds with minimal creep. Double-action is smooth but heavy, typical of a large-frame revolver—expect around 10–12 pounds. It’s a solid trigger out of the box.

According to Colt, the Anaconda uses a forged stainless frame and barrel for strength. More than 60% of revolver collectors surveyed by the American Shooting Sports Council in 2023 said they prefer stainless over blued for durability. This revolver fits that trend perfectly.
